Abstract:
This article analyses little-known short stories of modern Ukrainian writers Valerian Pidmohylny and Mykhailo Yatskiv in the context of the 20th century existentialism. It can be considered as a cultural phenomenon which combines philosophy with literature. Pidmohylny’s short stories were significantly influenced primarily by the ideas of the European philosophers of the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Therefore, we can search for similar motives in the works of Pidmohylny and the existentialists, which developed under the influence of the ideas of Schopenhauer, Kierkegaard, and Nietzsche. Also, the authors consider Yatskiv’s short stories through the prism of the core concepts of existentialism, namely, fate and death. Pidmohylny and Yatskiv can be assigned to existential writers on the basis of retrospective analysis of the themes of their short stories and the thematic areas of 20th century existentialism.

Abstract:
Our traditions and beliefs give rise to many myths. Many a times the Indian authors used their knowledge about myths and traditions and made stories based on them. Mulk Raj Anand is also highly traditional author who was impressed by the stories told to him as a child by his grandmother and he uses the mythical tales in his short stories. By reading these short stories, any reader is also acquainted with the traditional myths of our country. This article is an endeavor to bring to notice various myths used by Anand in his various short stories and the effect of these myths on the readers. Anand also tries to show the effect of the traditional beliefs and customs on the Indian women and proclaims the fact that women had to suffer at many places on the name of customs and traditions. In the veil of the beliefs and traditions of the family or castes, women were subjected to many forms of injustices and they too accepted all the torture on the name of custom. Dowry, Sati and harassment to widows are some of the common features he uses in his stories to depict the predicament of Indian women in the 20th century. He has also drawn attention of the readers towards the abusive language used for the women at that time. These stories help us analyze the status of women of India in the 20th century.

Abstract:
German Shortest Story: A Narratological Analysis of Chosen „Short Short Stories” by Kerstin Hensel and Heiner Feldhoff Kürzestgeschichte (lit. shortest story), which is the German term for a subcategory of short story, became established as a literary genre in the 20th century. Its condensed content conformed to the hectic pace of life but, in terms of the issues discussed, it was more essential and dedicated to an experienced reader. In this paper, a narratological analysis of selected shortest stories by Heiner Feldhoff and Kerstin Hensel will be conducted. A methodological basis for the analysis is the categories implemented by Gérard Genette. Its aim is to provide an answer to the question whether shortest stories could be, like any other epic texts, subject to a narratological analysis and to what extent the length of a text might influence the findings of such an analysis.

Full text
Abstract:
A number of distinguished Thai short stories from 1964 to 1973 reveal new and distinctive features in terms of subject, form, concepts and style. These features are similar to those of modernism, which was an international movement in literature and the arts that began in the late 19th century and continued into the early 20th century. The similarity suggests the direct and indirect influences of the modernist style upon Thai writers. Furthermore, the change in style of some of the short stories indicates a relationship with the art movements: impressionism, expressionism, cubism and surrealism, which were subsidiary art movements within modernism. These specific features of the Thai short story signify a radical break with the traditional writing of the time.

Abstract:
The article deals with the images of eccentric characters in the short stories “Jerry and Molly and Sam” (1972), “Fat” (1971), “They Are Not Your Husband” (1973), “Neighbors” (1971), “The Idea” (1972) written by an outstanding American writer of the second half of the 20th century R. Carver. The definitions of the concepts of “eccentricity” and “grotesque” are given, the fundamental difference between “eccentric” and the related concepts of “jester” and “rogue” is highlighted, examples of the interpretation of “eccentricity” in the previous literary tradition are given. The selected stories are analyzed and the main features inherent in Carver’s eccentrics, such as passivity, self-deception, substitution of values, following false ideas about future happiness, and others, are highlighted. In his stories, the author again actualizes the problems of loneliness, control, alienation and mutual misunderstanding, traditional for American literature of the 20th century; touches upon the themes of voyeurism, appearance and personality, midlife crisis, invasion of personal space and private property, portrays characters who happen to be victims of broken communication, who make attempts to identify themselves, but invariably fail. The infantile and absurd actions of Carver’s heroes not only hide the mental discord and the tragic inability of an individual to gain control over their own life, but at the same time reflect the general social disorder and spiritual trouble. Thus, the characters in the stories of R. Carver stand on a par with other eccentric heroes of American and world literature, in particular with the grotesque heroes of one of the founders of the modern American short story, S. Anderson.

Abstract:
In American ethnic literature of the last three decades of the 20th century, recurrent themes of mobility, travel, and “homing in” are emblematic of the search for identity. In this essay, which discusses three short stories, Alice Walker’s “Everyday Use,” Louise Erdrich’s “The World’s Greatest Fishermen,” and Daniel Chacon’s “The Biggest City in the World,” I attempt to demonstrate that as a consequence of technological development, with travel becoming increasingly accessible to ethnic Americans, their search for identity assumes wider range, transcending national and cultural boundaries.

The study of short stories in Jordan in the early 60-80s of the 20th century shows that the problem of Palestine is one of the leading topics, received a deeper and more comprehensive coverage in their works. A characteristic side of the short story writers of Jordan 70-80s is that they take a biased anti-Israeli position. During this period, the writers create the short story which possesses a new form and content. It should be noted that the anti-Israeli position is characteristic of the short stories of Ilias Farquh, where the writer’s short story “Abo, illuminating the silence”, discusses the theme of the Palestinians who have become refugees in their homeland.

Abstract:
This thesis offers a critical survey and a comprehensive bibliography of the Australian short story in the 1980s. Conceived partly as an continuation of Stephen Torre’s study of Australian short fiction of the 1940-1980 period, it starts where Torre’s thesis stopped, focusing on Australian short story writing published in the ten years between 1981 and 1990. Torre has summed up the 1940-1980 period as ‘a time of development and innovation’ in the history of Australian short fiction. In comparison, the 1980s is probably best described as a decade of unprecedented expansion and diversification. During that time, Australian short fiction broke away from its earlier domination by monolithic traditions and became a much more eclectic and pluralistic form. Contributing to this eclecticism and plurality were five different streams of story writing created by five separate groups of writers. Due to constraints of space, the critical text of the thesis examines only four of them.

My dissertation analyzes the overlooked short works of authors and auteurs who do not fit comfortably into the conventional category of modernism due to their subtly experimental aesthetics: the versatile British author Vita Sackville-West, the Anglo-Irish novelist and short-story writer Elizabeth Bowen, and the British emigrant filmmaker Charlie Chaplin. I focus on the years 1920-1923 to gain an alternative understanding of modernism's annus mirabulus and the years immediately preceding and following it. My first chapter studies the most critically disregarded author of the project: Sackville-West. Her 1922 volume of short stories The Heir: A Love Story deserves attention for its examination of social hierarchies. Although her stories ridicule characters regardless of their class background, those who attempt to change their class status, especially when not sanctioned by heredity, are treated with the greatest contempt. The volume, with the reinforcement of the contracted short form, advocates staying within given class boundaries. The second chapter analyzes social structures in Bowen's first book of short stories, Encounters (1922). Like Sackville-West, Bowen's use of the short form complements her interest in how class hierarchies can confine characters. Bowen's portraits of classed encounters and of characters' encounters with class reveal a sense of anxiety over being confined by social status and a sense of displacement over breaking out of class groups, exposing how class divisions accentuate feelings of alienation and instability. The last chapter examines Chaplin's final short films: "The Idle Class" (1921), "Pay Day (1922), and "The Pilgrim" (1923). While placing Chaplin among the modernists complicates the canon in a positive way, it also reduces the complexity of this man and his art. Chaplin is neither a pyrotechnic modernist nor a traditional sentimentalist. Additionally, Chaplin's shorts are neither socially liberal nor conservative. Rather, Chaplin's short films flirt with experimental techniques and progressive class politics, presenting multiple perspectives on the thematic of social hierarchies. But, in the end, his films reinforce rather than overthrow traditional artistic forms and hierarchical ideas. Studying these artists elucidates how the contracted space of the short form produces the perfect room to present a nuanced portrayal of class.

Abstract:
The focus of the present research work is the contemporary American short stories that bring up issues of compulsory norm and the conflict between marginalized characters and their environment. This research was based on those short stories that seemed to represent the idea of being "different" in the most complex and multilayered way, and its goal was to unfold new aspects of the conflict between "normal" and "abnormal"/"different". Variations of norm as well as diversity within the marginalized raise a number of questions about the reasons for their inability to coexist peacefully. The close reading and the analysis of the selected stories show that all the conflicts in them, in one way or another, repeat similar patterns and lead to the same root of the problem of misunderstanding, which is fear. To be more precise, all the cases of hate towards "different" characters can be explained by the hater's explicit or implicit fear of death in its various forms: inability to procreate one's own kind, cultural or personal self-identity loss, actual life threat in the form of a reminder of possible physical harm and death. Most often it would be the case where shame and fear of death overlap in a very complex way. In general, the cases of characters' otherness fall into three major groups. The nature of the alienation for each of these groups is described and analyzed in three separate chapters. Prejudice and stereotypes are playing a great role in formation of fears and insecurities which need to be dismantled in order to make peaceful coexistence possible. This work concludes with pointing out the crucial role of taking an approach of representation of various perspectives and diversification of voices in creative writing, academia and media in the context of multicultural society.

Full text
Abstract:

During the early twentieth century, Japan was modernizing in all areas of science and art, including children’s literature. Ogawa Mimei (1882-1961) was a prolific writer who advanced various literary forms such as short stories, poems, essays, children’s stories, and children’s songs. As a writer, he was most active during the late Meiji (1868-1912) to Taishō (1912-1926) periods when he was a socialist. During that time, he penned many socialist short stories and children’s stories that were filtered through his humanistic, anarchistic, and romanticist ideals. In this thesis, I analyze Mimei’s socialist short stories and children’s stories written in the 1910s and 1920s. I identify both the characteristics of his writing style and the themes so we can probe Mimei’s ideological and aesthetic ideas, which have been discounted by contemporary critics. His socialist short stories challenged the dogmatic literary approach of Japanese proletarian literature during its golden age of the late 1920s and early 1930s. His socialist children’s stories also deviated from the standard of Japanese children’s literature in the 1950s and 1960s. In this thesis, I break away from the narrow views that confined Mimei to certain literary standards. This thesis is a reevaluation of Mimei’s literature on his own terms from a holistic perspective.

Abstract:
The world we live in is full of material objects that serve as signs and thus are an important tool in literary texts. The purpose of the present essay is to illustrate how material objects are used to portray personalities of female characters, their inner world and attitudes, their ways of life and position in society. It is especially interesting in the context of the 20th century in the Western world, when the culture of consumption was gaining momentum and the role of a woman was gradually changing. The short stories analysed in the essay are written in the Western context in the 20th century, which are “A Perfect Day for Bananafish” by J.D. Salinger, “Moments of Being: ‘Slater’s Pins Have no Points’” by V. Woolf and “The Bottom Line and the Sharp End” by F. Weldon. The material objects mentioned in the texts are classified and analysed due to their role and purpose in the short stories.

Full text
Abstract:
This study examines the interpretive possibilities in the shorter fiction of Post-War German literature. The corpus includes works by Rolf Hochhuth, Friedrich Durrenmatt and Martin Walser. The historical framework of the theory of the novella and short story provides a basis for a discussion of genre, extended to include the coordinates of metaphor and metonymy. With the exception of one text designated as a novel, these works demonstrate interlocking and restricted motif complexes, repetitive and parallel structure and the integration of most narrative components. They project a tenor of hermetic plurality from a vehicle of abbreviated and truncated referential discourse. They use myth and intertextuality to show general principles to be extrapolated from specific contexts. Metafiction complements the theme of the subject not at one with itself. A partial resolution to the incertitude of existence, rendered according to Freud and Lacan, is offered through the emerging role of women as a stabilizing factor.

Schaller, Karen Ann. "The Bowen affect : the short fiction of Elizabeth Bowen and the case for re-reading emotion." Thesis, University of Sussex, 2011. http://sro.sussex.ac.uk/id/eprint/6950/.

Full text
Abstract:
This thesis argues that the short fiction of Elizabeth Bowen is acutely preoccupied with reading emotion. Despite the growth of Bowen criticism, her stories remain understudied and this project proposes that their marginal status corresponds to this preoccupation. Through a close engagement with the literary representations of emotion at work in selected Bowen's stories, read alongside Bowen criticism, short story theory, and work on emotion, however, I show how her stories not only anticipate, but radically disrupt, current emotion theory. Recent theorisations of, and research on, emotion and affect across the disciplines tend to rely on the readability of emotion, emphasising the interpretation of specific emotions and reviving practices of affective criticism. Yet Bowen‟s short fiction foregrounds emotion‟s textuality: rather than allow us to read emotion „in‟ literature, I argue that her stories theorise the literariness of emotion. The project begins by suggesting a correspondence between her stories‟ engagement with emotion and their status, both within her literary oeuvre and in Bowen scholarship, to suggest that the complexity of her short fiction is often under-represented by occluding the deconstructions emotion mobilises. This enables us to map critical debates amongst Bowen scholars about the radicality of Bowen‟s fiction onto wider narratives about emotion and critical resistances to its textuality. I go on to undertake close readings of selected stories to show how Bowen‟s short fiction destabilises, rather than reinforces, the geographies of subjectivity, reality, time, and materiality to which emotion is presumed to belong. This project extends Bowen criticism that observes the ways her work anticipates psychoanalytical and Derridean readings, but through its focus on the short story it offers the second focused study of Bowen‟s short fiction, and the first study of her short fiction to be informed by critical emotion theory. Not only does this thesis carve out a new territory within Bowen scholarship, but it offers a timely contribution to problems in thinking emotion and affect in literary criticism and theory. More broadly, it is my hope that my reading of Bowen demonstrates the necessity of attending to the textuality of emotion in the reading and theorisation of emotion across the disciplines.

Abstract:
On the First Reception of Ivan Turgenev’s Works (1869-1908) in Italy: Journals, Editions, Translators, and Cultural Mediators. This article presents the first analysis of the reception of Ivan Turgenev’s literary works in Italy from 1869 to 1908. It was during that time that the Italian translations of Turgenev’s short stories Uezdnyj lekar’ (The District Doctor) and Ermolaj i mel’nichixa, (Ermolay and the Miller’s Wife) appeared. In 1908, the reception of Turgenev’s works in Italy takes an intriguing turn, which coincides with the commencement of the influential Florentine journal La Voce. From the early 20th century up to the beginning of World War I the interest in translating Turgenev’s works and understanding his work becomes less intense. Notably, only after La Voce had ceased to be published this the captivation with Turgenev was again felt in Italy in the 1920s. During this time, Turgenev retained his status as a seminal figure in Russian literature, and some of his works were reissued regularly, yet not in the same way as in the earlier phase of his reception. Ardengo Soffici, one of the prominent figures of La Voce, argued in 1922 that Turgenev is an author hardly representative, unable to reflect either Russian or Western literary traditions, and too “provincial” and “worldly” to genuinely embody the Russian soul’s true essence.

Abstract:
This study explores the emergence and conventionalization of the Italian pragmatic marker ma vieni ‘hooray’ (lit. ‘but come’) in the short micro-diachrony of the past thirty years, considering both extra-linguistic and systemic factors. We show that a number of audio-visual media helped trigger the emergence of this marker, which first conventionalized as a sort of catchphrase for young people in the 1990s, and also helped constrain its social embedding. Through an analysis of audio-visual media and data collected using a socio-pragmatic questionnaire, we investigate the spread of ma vieni in its development up to recent years. The chapter thus offers a detailed micro-analysis of a recent pragmatic innovation, drawing considerably on the theoretical and methodological underpinnings provided by the analytical construct of apparent time as used in sociolinguistic research to study language change in progress; it also explores the impact of linguistic modes and cultural tendencies on language, by investigating the intriguing intersection between entertainment products, passing fashions, and linguistic changes.

Abstract:
The article describes the results of an experiment on topic modeling of Russian short stories for three successive historical periods of the early 20th century: 1) the beginning of the 20th century until 1913, 2) the warrevolutionary period (1914–1922), and 3) the early Soviet period (1923-1930). Using the Latent Dirichlet Allocation (LDA) algorithm, 9 models were built — 3 samples of different sizes (100, 500, and 1000 stories) for each of the periods. It turned out that in every model there are very frequent “themes” (topics) that characterize with a high probability a fairly significant share of texts in each sample. Moreover, one can also observe a meaningful dynamics of these frequent topics over different time periods, which allows us to consider them as thematic and stylistic markers of the analyzed text collections along with the more traditional quantitative measures of text analysis. The variety of frequent topics turned out to be higher in the second and third periods, which can be explained by the greater lexical and stylistic diversity of the prose of the “era of change”.

Abstract:
The article is devoted to the hermeneutic and comparative analysis of the short story The Fox’s Footprint (1939) by the Russian writer of the Harbin diaspora B. M. Yulsky. The mystical, mythological, adventure aspects are studied. The image of the fox spirit in Chinese culture, in particular, in the collection of stories Liao Zhai zhi yi (17th century) by the Chinese writer Pu Songling, is researched. The emphasis is placed on the cult of immortal foxes in Manchuria in the 19th — first half of the 20th century. It is proved that in his prose Yulsky relied on the eastern cultural context and thereby created the authorial frontier mythology, expressing it in the genre of the mystical-adventure story.

Abstract:
Bearing in mind the previous theoretical considerations related to the genre of childrenʼs stories, as well as the writers ofthe 20th century, the paper aims to study the poetic uniqueness of contemporary childrenʼs stories, using the examples of short prose by Igor Kolarov, Uroš Petrović and Dejan Aleksić. Conciseness, incompleteness, fragmentedness, enigma, wonder, and partnership with the recipient are the basic characteristics of contemporary children’s stories. The play in the work of these authors is present on several levels: in the form, structure, semantics of the story, as well as in the recipient’s experience. The contemporary story tries to influence the recipients directly, and the reader is often invited to participate in the self-referential and intertextual puzzle and to join the play of literary creativity. Therefore, it often requires an emotionally engaged, determined, intelligent, empathetic, adventurous and thoughtful reader. The stories of the abovementioned authors will be interpreted through semantic theory, reception theory and theories that study the phenomenon of play.

Abstract:
The purpose of this study is to conduct a careful psychological investigation into the thought of one of the most important 20th century Irish writers, James Joyce (1882- 1941). The main focus of the analysis consists of some of the short stories contained in one of Joyce�s most famous works, Dubliners, with particular reference to Evelyne and at the same time examining some of the themes present and recurring in the Irish writer�s books. This work aims to demonstrate how in Joyce there is a strong interest in the realisation and psychological analysis of his complex characters present in the work as well as in Evelyne and who will be examined as expressions and fulfilments of his creativity. The study was conducted through the discipline of the Psychology of Art and Literature. Some of the themes and characteristics of the characters in the stories will be presented, in which the individual, with his inner conflicts, emotions, feelings and sensations will come to the fore, with particular attention to the central theme of the work, namely paralysis in which he sees the city and its inhabitants immersed. Paralysis and escape are the central elements of Dubliners. One will understand how the city and the characters are seen by Joyce as the centre of the historical, social and psychological �paralysis� that conditions the lives of its inhabitants and does not allow them to grow as human beings.

Abstract:
This short contribution shows the relevance of audiovisual sources for the history of 20th century music. It traces the role played by the violinist Fritz Kreisler (1875–1962) in shaping the widespread cliché of the “Viennese sound” via an examination of audiovisual sources. The sources stored in different online archives or social media portals play a key role, but the traceability of a given agent is not guaranteed. For this reason, controlled vocabularies and a digital tool which enable the addition of new metadata to already existing sources should be developed in the near future. This would enable researchers to trace agents, such as institutions and artists, and to connect them with places, repertoires and cultural topoi.

Abstract:
Статья посвящена изучению особенностей и функций реминисценций, отсылающих к традиции готической литературы, в малой прозе Дафны Дюморье, представленной в сборнике рассказов «Птицы и другие истории». Актуальность исследования обусловлена недостаточной изученностью интертекстуальных включений в малой прозе писательницы. Результаты, изложенные в статье, могут быть использованы в ходе изучения истории развития готической художественной литературы и британской прозы XX в. The article is devoted to the study of features and functions of reminiscences referring to the Gothic fiction tradition in Daphne Du Morier’s short stories published in “The Birds and Other Stories” collection. The relevance of the study is motivated by an insufficient number of research works dedicated to intertextual inclusions in the writer’s short stories. The results presented in the article can be used in the development of Gothic fiction and British prose of the XX century studies.

Abstract:
The work of the American writer of the first half of the 19th century, Edgar Allan Poe (1809–1849), has been studied and studied for about two hundred years, it was so deep, in many ways innovative. It is he who is considered the ancestor of the detective genre. However, in China, the first detective work translated into Chinese was not the works of Edgar Allan Poe, but of a later writer — Arthur Conan Doyle (1859–1930). The first translation of the story by E. A. Poe was made in 1905 by the writer and translator Zhou Zuoren. A surge of interest in the work of Edgar Allan Poe occurred in the 20–30s of the 20th century, both individual stories and entire collections of his works are published one after another. In the 40s, the interest of readers and publishers in the works of E. A. Poe gradually decreases. One of the most popular stories were The Tell-Tale Heart, which was published in different translations, and The Gold Bug.

Abstract:
This short retrospective begins by examining the early animal and plant health bureaus. For most of the 20th century, these bureaus operated independently of one another. Eventually, these animal and plant health functions were consolidated under the APHIS structure. The bulk of this report assesses APHIS’ development over the past 25 years, focusing on the eight APHIS administrators and their particular visions and goals. Also this report is intended to identify some of the outstanding issues and events that have contributed to the agency’s development. Identifying the organization’s roots and past accomplishments may help us move into the decade ahead with greater confidence about our basic organization, mission, and capabilities.
